Biotechnology

The sea in the north is full of treasures. Marine species that live in the Arctic climate have developed special characteristics that may be of great use within medicine, nutrition or the biotechnology industry in the future. The research activities at Norut focus on peptides, lipids and bioactive molecules linked to bioprospecting. Norut has established and operates the rental laboratory Barents Biocentre Lab in Tromsø. Many of the treasures of the sea are yet to be explored. That is triggering us at Norut.
